How to know the Truth

-


Since September 2023, I have been posting and have received more than thousand of views across my various posts. For the most part, my admirers and critics have been happy to lurk in the shadows. Even though I’ve made claims that it’s irrational to work for money, all debts will soon be forgiven, and those who aren’t prepared will suffer, the response has been minimal. As I have reflected on this, the reasons do not seem to be that people have a genuine disagreement and a better argument. The silence suggests that they don’t know how to think. 

Before you get upset with me, let me say this. I get it. Thinking is way scarier than it seems. Alfred Nored said “The purpose of thinking is to let the ideas die instead of us dying.” That means that to think is to die, mentally, a kind of neurological brain cell murder so that better synapses can be formed. 


Here’s a few questions to ponder for you:


- Does debate and confrontation give you anxiety?


- Do you know how to encourage and agree with some else?


- Do you seek peace more than truth?


- Do you know how to learn from others?


- Do you know how to change your mind?


When is the last time you changed your mind about something or changed someone else’s mind? (Let me know in the comments)


I think it’s worthwhile, in our current age, to talk about  developing the ability to know the truth. If this is lost, it doesn’t matter if freedom of speech is preserved. 

The skeptical movement of Calmus, Sarte,  Gorge, and the New Atheist like Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennet, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchen, which I was involved with for a time, has done great harm to our ability to believe in true things and associate with people who agree with our conclusions. We have elevated disagreement and dissent itself as a virtue of too high importance. There is no value in disagreement by itself. Disagreement only admits that someone in the conversation is committing an error and we ought to recognize this as a negative value. Instead, we should make it our to become wise and truthful while seeking to recognize other people who see the world rightly too. Upon finding a different point of view, we should seek to change our thinking or change their thinking. 

Unfortunately, I think many modern people have rejected the belief in Truth, leaving them in a state of constant rebellion against anyone who claims to know it. GK Chesterton gave good commentary on this. 

“But the new rebel is a skeptic, and will not entirely trust anything. He has no loyalty; therefore he can never be really a revolutionist. And the fact that he doubts everything really gets in his way when he wants to denounce anything. For all denunciation implies a moral doctrine of some kind; and the modern revolutionist doubts not only the institution he denounces, but the doctrine by which he denounces it. . . . As a politician, he will cry out that war is a waste of life, and then, as a philosopher, that all life is waste of time. A Russian pessimist will denounce a policeman for killing a peasant, and then prove by the highest philosophical principles that the peasant ought to have killed himself. . . . The man of this school goes first to a political meeting, where he complains that savages are treated as if they were beasts; then he takes his hat and umbrella and goes on to a scientific meeting, where he proves that they practically are beasts. In short, the modern revolutionist, being an infinite skeptic, is always engaged in undermining his own mines. In his book on politics he attacks men for trampling on morality; in his book on ethics he attacks morality for trampling on men. Therefore the modern man in revolt has become practically useless for all purposes of revolt. By rebelling against everything he has lost his right to rebel against anything.”

I see this everywhere in the world.

WHAT TO DO TO KNOW THE TRUTH

Steps for learning how to become a person who knows the truth, recognizes the truth in others, and can convert false thoughts within and within others to true thoughts.

1. Set the intension. Say “I intend to be a lover of the truth. I intend to know true things. Starting with myself, I intent to test every thought I have to know whether it’s true or not. I intend to use other people to help me do this. I intend to become excellent at spotting lies and deceit in myself and others. I intend to be someone who others go to for help in learning and loving the truth.


2. Affirm yourself. Say “I am worth of knowing the truths. I am capable of knowing the truth. My thoughts deserve to take up space. My false thoughts deserve to die. My true thoughts deserve to live. I am capable of articulating the truth with courage and clarity. I am capable of being humble in the presence of another who is on my same journey. I am capable of defending myself against those who would seek to undermine the concept of the truth. 


3. Assess your needs. Say “I need a mind that can perceive the truth, a method for testing the truth, and a way of knowing when I’ve found the truth. I need experiences where I encounter things I don’t understand and need courage and humility to pay attention to things that might threaten old part of me that deserve to die. 

4. Believe you already have those things. Say “I have a good mind. Experiences of the unknown are all around me. I am humble and courageous. I pay attention and kill off falsehood. 

5. Pursue the truth and reinforce the method. As you stumble on this path at first, say “I am better than this. This is not who I am. Because I…(insert a part or all of the previous beliefs).” As you start becoming more truthful and wise and winsome in conversation, say “This makes sense because this is who I am.”. 

Do this and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.

Zachary Moore v. Alliant Credit Union et al. (2025) Affirmative Opinion in the Voice of Justice Alito

  Supreme Court of the United States Zachary Moore v. Alliant Credit Union et al. Opinion of the Court by the voice of Justice Alito Delivered January 14, 2025 Today, this Court renders a decision of profound constitutional and societal importance. At issue is whether the foreclosure proceedings initiated by Alliant Credit Union against Mr. Zachary Moore—based on a mortgage loan derived from fiat currency—violated his constitutional rights under the Fifth, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth Amendments. This case also raises broader questions about the legality of a monetary system that facilitates perpetual debt cycles through fiat currency and usury. After careful consideration, we hold that the foreclosure proceedings, as applied to Mr. Moore, constitute an unconstitutional deprivation of his rights to property and due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Further, we find that the systemic exploitation inherent in the fiat currency system and its application to the facts of...

Citing RICO Violations to stop unlawful debt collections

Who is Zach Moore? and what to know about my movement If you’re reading this, take it as a call to prepare—for yourself, your family, and the world around you. At the heart of my movement is a simple but powerful truth:  any contract secured with a lie, or a claim not backed by anything real (like the U.S. dollar and debt), cannot be enforced.  Moreover, those who attempt to collect on these fraudulent contracts are committing crimes and are liable to RICO charges for perpetuating a system built on deception. I’m Zachary Moore, and I’m leading a movement to destroy the U.S. dollar, bankrupt billionaires, and end the tyranny of usury. I grew up in a trailer in Alabama, surrounded by the poverty and oppression that debt creates. I worked my way out, earning $550,000 a year as a top sales consultant, but in 2023, I realized I was part of the problem—a system built on lies, fiat currency, and the exploitation of human labor. So, I walked away. I quit my lucrative job, defaulted on...

Response to Alliant Credit Union

  Re: Loan Number XXXX To whom it may concern, My name is Zachary Moore, owner of the property at [address redacted]. I received a letter in the mail from Alliant Credit Union dated December 15, 2023 citing information regarding a mortgage contract between myself and Alliant. I am challenging the validity of this contract.  As you know, in order for a contract to be valid, both parties must put up valid property for consideration. Without consideration, no contract can be lawfully valid.  This property must be rightfully owned by each party.  In the case of Alliant, the money loaned would need to be an asset on Alliant’s balance sheet prior to closing. As the loanee, I put up my own property for valid consideration. I put up a promissory note representing my ownership of my work and labor, a down payment of nearly $100,000, and title to the property at [address redacted] What property did Alliant put up? Please provide evidence that Alliant provided me, the loaner wi...
